Oh, geez, is it Wednesday already?

And, conversely, is the week over yet?

Ever wanted to build your own Reddit? Oh. Well, now you can anyway: Reddit goes open-source.

Interesting to see the link on the resubmission to Google article. Does Google have a team of people dedicated to looking at those and how many actually get back into the index?

Anyone experienced this first hand?

Thanks for the link to viral videos. I have already seen the “will it blend” video, but i have completely forgotten it. Puts my brain into gear again, maybe something useful will come out of it.
